Tolerance B was about to nod, when he suddenly heard Zhao You let out a long and miserable wail, spit out a mouthful of blood, twitched on the ground for a while, grabbed a string of bright red handprints, and stopped moving.

Tolerance stepped forward to test his snort, Lang Zhong squatted down to check his pulse, and said, "I'm dead." ”

Zhao You's death was extremely miserable, the cause of death was strange, and the best work in the capital failed to find out the cause of death.

But even Huai'an guessed that it was nothing more than two possibilities: suicide and homicide, if it was suicide in fear of crime, he would have committed suicide after returning from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he would not wait until now, so the probability of being killed is greater.

Just imagine, a person's subordinates have mastered his countless black materials, and they are in a state of being interrogated at any time, how to choose, you don't have to think about it.

Of course, Zhao Youren is dead, it does not mean that the past is written off, the emperor immediately ordered the house to be raided, the real estate, land, gold and silver property were all filled into the treasury, the direct male was exiled to the army, the woman was punished into the workshop, and the young children were filled into the inner court.

That's an afterword.

Back to the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

A group of people surrounded the Queen Mother and returned to Shoukang Palace, calling for the women to meet, and the noblewomen who came to celebrate their birthday rushed in.

There are hundreds of women waiting outside the noon gate, but there are only twenty people who enter the palace, Huai'an was disappointed for a while, but after thinking about it, hundreds of people can't all squeeze into the palace, and the women who can celebrate their birthday in the front row, except for a few princesses, are the most noble Mrs. Zheng Ge, the wife of the Duke of Yu is the most prominent, and the rest are all hot figures in the court, either rich or noble.

Target customers, not more, but refined.

Looking at these graceful and luxurious women, Huai An instantly put his nervous emotions behind him, and couldn't wait to immediately take out the soap and start his speech - as long as he was recognized by these nobles, why worry about the signboard not being played?

The eunuch sang and took out the gift list and called his name in front of everyone, all of which were rare treasures, precious calligraphy and paintings.

After singing the gift list, it was the turn of King Qi's family to offer congratulatory gifts, and King Qi and the princess presented hand-copied scriptures and the "Hundred Immortals Birthday Picture" embroidered on the screen, which made the Queen Mother smile.

Rong He presented the Bodhi Zi Buddha beads polished by his own hands, and quietly knelt in the ear of his great-grandmother and said to him that there were surprises at night, and the Queen Mother was amused by his cute appearance: "Your father is right, he is indeed a little skin monkey." ”

Rong He didn't care about the silly music, and said: "Huai'an has also carefully prepared a congratulatory gift for you. ”

Huai'an nodded vigorously, and the palace people presented a delicate lacquer box, with the "Pine Crane Longevity Map" painted on the lid of the box, and opened it in front of the Queen Mother, only to see that the box was divided into nine grids, and each grid contained a piece of delicate and beautiful snacks.

As soon as the laughter in the hall stopped, everyone had different expressions, and said that the child was not sensible, and the adults behind him were also not sensible? How can the Queen Mother's birthday gift be given food?

The royal cuisine and the chef are all in charge of the special person, if a random person carrying a box of pastries can be tasted by the queen mother, how many people in the royal family have also been poisoned.

A kind old eunuch beside the Queen Mother came up and asked Huai'an softly: "Shen Gongzi, are you sure this is a birthday gift for the Queen Mother, right?" ”

"Nope." Huai shook his head and said.

Zheng Qian's wife was the most worried about Huai'an, and got up and saluted the Queen Mother: "Please also ask the Queen Mother for forgiveness." Huai'an is young, and he probably doesn't know that he can't give food in front of the Queen Mother. ”

The second half of the sentence is said to Huai'an.

The Queen Mother couldn't see everyone embarrassed a child like this, so she smiled and played a round for Huai'an: "Those who don't know are not guilty, and the childish childlike heart is to be naïve and ignorant." ”

With that, please sit down with Mrs. Zheng.

Huai'an sold enough before he stood up and stood in the center of the hall and explained: "Actually, this is not food, it is a birthday gift prepared by Huai'an for the queen mother after a month of careful research - soap." ”

There was a lot of discussion.

"Soap?" Someone asked, "But the soap of the honey locust?" ”

Huai'an nodded: "Yes, but it is several times stronger than the cleansing power of honey locust, and it does not hurt the skin." Wash your face with it in the morning, wash your hands with it before meals, and bathe with it before going to bed, it is clean and not dry, and it can also leave a fragrance all day. ”

The crowd was a little louder.

When the Queen Mother heard this, she gently pinched a piece of soap and found that it was really not a pastry, it had the texture of a candle, the tentacles were slippery, and it was fragrant.

And there are nine models in a box, each with its own aroma. Like the fragrance of mugwort leaves, the milky fragrance of milk, the tea fragrance of jasmine, and the sweetness of osmanthus flowers...... In particular, the pink-purple lotus-shaped soap exudes the warm and faint fragrance of sandalwood, which is refreshing.

She picked up a piece of osmanthus soap again, and it was still two layers, the upper layer was as transparent and yellowish as amber, and the lower layer was as white as clotted cream.

She was accustomed to seeing countless rare treasures, and she couldn't put down the soap in front of her, and after a while, she saw that everyone in the hall had curious eyes, so she ordered the eunuch to bring it down and show it to them.

The Queen Mother smiled at the emperor and the women for a long time in the morning, and then showed a heartfelt smile and called: "Huai'an." ”

"Yes, yes." Huai'an happily got up, not that he deliberately flattered the queen mother, if there was someone who made him nostalgic and remembered in his previous life, it was his grandmother, two years after his brother was born, his parents were lacking in skills, so they sent him to his grandmother's house, his grandmother was very good to him, and it was the happiest two years of his life.

So Huai'an always can't help but be close to such amiable female elders.

The more the Queen Mother looked at it, the more she felt that this child was well-behaved and clever: "Good boy, how did you come up with this thing!" ”

Huai'an said: "When I first learned about the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, Huai'an had a dream, in which an old fairy told Huai'an a secret recipe, but it was too complicated, and I couldn't remember it clearly when I woke up from the dream, so I had to slowly explore." ”

As he spoke, Huai'an's gaze became firm and full of mission: "Despite all the difficulties, Huai'an completed this research with tenacious perseverance and a smart mind!" ”

said, and changed back to a puppy-like smile: "Thinking about it this way, it turned out to be the Queen Mother Hongfu!" ”

The Queen Mother has been in the palace for nearly 60 years, and she has long been accustomed to the solemn and cautious atmosphere in the palace. She forced herself to laugh and said to Huai'an: "You are so attentive, and you have ...... Tenacious perseverance and brilliant mind ......"

The Queen Mother spoke, her voice paused, and finally she couldn't help laughing a few times, which provoked the words of the full house of women to stop, turned around curiously, spied on the Queen Mother's smile, and then laughed with her for some reason.

The Queen Mother looked at Huai'an, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it: "Huai'an's birthday gift, the mourning family likes it the most, it should be rewarded, rewarded!" ”

Rong He was also watching the soap, and when he heard that the Queen Mother was going to reward his brother, he sat back on the chair excitedly, his face full of anticipation.

But the Queen Mother hesitated for a moment and muttered: "Compared with this soap, ordinary gold and silver jewelry is too cheesy, and it humiliates this intention......"

Xu Sanduo and Liu Doujin heard that their pupils trembled - don't! How can anyone think money is cheesy? Insult them with real money!

The Queen Mother pondered and meditated, but she couldn't come up with a reward that matched the soap: "That's it, Huai'an, the mourning family can promise you one thing, as long as you don't violate the rules and regulations, as long as the mourning family can do it." ”

After everyone was surprised, they laughed with each other, each thinking about it. First of all, it is very unreasonable for this child to appear at the birthday banquet, could it be that Shen Siye has made a great contribution and wants to be promoted? Could it be that the Sacred Heart has become biased towards King Qi?

Of course, they also have a common idea - this soap is indeed a good thing, but Huai'an said so mysterious, they don't believe it, I heard that Jiangnan is rich, there are a lot of good things that can't be seen in the north, maybe this soap is a specialty of Anjiang County, or maybe it's expensive, the process is complicated, and it's not widely used, in short, you must send someone to inquire about it when you go back.

When the Queen Mother said this, the pressure was on Huai'an, and he couldn't shout for money...... He doesn't care, his father still has to have a face, doesn't he?

What reward should you ask for?

Huai'an raised his little face, just saw the plaque hanging in the middle hall, and suddenly had an idea, and said to the queen mother: "Niangniang, Huai'an wants to ask Niangniang to try soap to wash her hands, and then inscribe a pair of words for it." ”

Huai'an's small abacus flew up, and since there was no money to take, he had to ask the Queen Mother to bring the goods in person!

Chapter 97

As soon as the voice fell, he was dumbfounded.

The women who often walk around with the Queen Mother know that the Queen Mother has been very concerned about her hands since she was young, and often says that "hands are like soft wattles", which is the second face of a woman.

The pancreas used by the Queen Mother to wash her hands is specially prepared with a unique formula of Tai Hospital, adding many herbs for hand care, in addition, she often uses goat milk almond paste to apply to her hands to achieve the purpose of nourishing the skin. Therefore, although she has reached the age of old, her hands are better than forty or fifty years old.

The Queen Mother cherishes her hands so much, how can she casually experiment with such unheard of things?

King Qi was afraid that Huai'an would be reprimanded, so he hurriedly stopped him: "Huai'an, don't be presumptuous." ”

The Queen Mother smiled kindly: "It's okay, it's almost time to enter the table, the mourning family will help you give it a try." ”

Huai'an smiled, watching the palace people offer a glass basin for cleaning hands, and a lacquer box containing soap.

The Queen Mother wet her hands, Huai'an selected a piece of honey almond soap from it, handed it to the palace maid, and explained: "The use of soap is similar to that of pancreas, it is all rubbed after dipping in water, rubbing it for a while after foaming, and then washing it with water. ”

Everyone's eyes focused on the hands of the Queen Mother, and saw that the foam produced by this soap was richer and denser than that of pancreas.

At such a critical moment, how can Rong He not give his good brother a cheer? So he exclaimed with an exaggerated expression: "Wow! This foam is so delicate! ”

King Qi was startled by his son's startle, and then turned his head to look at the princess, only to see that she was staring intently at the bubble-spitting soap.

As the only adult male on the scene, King Qi was puzzled, what is there to see about bubbles?

The soap has a sweet aroma of honey and almonds, which is refreshing.

Rong He then shouted, "Wow! It smells so good! ”

Although the women still maintained etiquette, they couldn't hold back the brilliance in their eyes.

King Qi was even more confused: Is it fragrant? Maybe a little, but the question is...... What's there to be excited about?

The Queen Mother rinsed with water and dried the water on her hands, her hands were clean and smooth without a trace of greasy.

The corners of the Queen Mother's lips were slightly raised, and she seemed to like it very much, and praised: "Yes, the mourning family thought that this soap was a pancreatic with spices and pigments, but it turned out that it was not." It is very different from pancreas and soaphorn, smooth and warm, refreshing and not dry. ”

Rong He said again: "Wow......"

was covered by King Qi and warned him to shout and scream again, so he punished him for copying the word "wow" a thousand times.

Rong He nodded in horror.

Foam can increase the contact surface, is conducive to and thoroughly cleanse the skin, and can reduce irritation to the skin.

Of course, you can't see any effect if you use it only once, so the feelings described by the Queen Mother are actually psychological...... Of course, Huai'an won't tell the truth.

As soon as he looked up, he saw a group of nobles and women in the hall staring at him in a stunned manner. Huai'an's back was cold, this gaze should not be like him, more like he wanted to kidnap, so he quietly moved towards the queen mother.

However, Huai'an is still quite satisfied with the repercussions caused by the soap, and is already thinking about how to open a soap workshop. It's just that the opening of the children's bookstore is imminent, and most of Huai'an and Ronghe's money is invested in it, and if they want to open another workshop, I'm afraid that their strength will not allow it.

However, if you miss this wave of popularity, if you want to do soap business in the future, the effect will be greatly reduced, not to mention the risk of being imitated. His mother taught him that only by seizing the opportunity can he occupy the market, so no matter how difficult it is, he must open a soap workshop.

The queen mother still spoke and agreed to inscribe the soap, so she ordered the eunuch to take a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, dip a huge brush into the good pine smoke ink, and write five big characters on the paper: "Yurong skin soap".

It is said that the words are like their people, the queen mother looks kind and kind, but the book is like a silkworm head swallowtail, the pen is dignified, and the pen is light, which shows the skill.

There was a sound of applause all around, and all the women did their best to praise the queen mother's calligraphy.

The Queen Mother seems to have regained the freedom and freedom of her youth, her face is radiant, and she said to the eunuch! "Take the private seal of the mourner."

Covered with a private seal, he gave these five words to Huai'an.

Huai'an was like a treasure, and saluted with a smile: "Thank you deeply for your grace." He took the Empress Dowager's ink treasure from the eunuch's hands and carefully handed it over to his father-in-law behind King Qi for safekeeping.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the Queen Mother ushered in a new round of longevity, led by the Yongli Emperor to the royal family and the harem concubines to enter the Shoukang Palace to bow, and then, the women were ordered to enter and bow in the courtyard, red tape, not much to say.

With the sound of drums, it was finally time to enter the banquet.

The courtyard of Shoukang Palace is supported with a colorful shed, and the banquet table is full of the hall and the courtyard.

Huai'an never expected that he was only eight years old and had already achieved the goal of checking in the imperial meal. He sat at the head of Rong He, looking at the dazzling array of gold and silver utensils in front of him, and the exquisite workmanship of the dishes, the royal style can be seen.

Accompanied by the sound of music, the female officer of the Shangshi Bureau led several teams of palace maids, holding vermilion lacquer food boxes, and entered the main hall with light and steady steps.

The eunuch sang again: "Divide the food." ”

I saw the palace maid open the food box, insert it into the dishes in turn with a silver skewer, and then try it by the special eunuchs, and then divide into several teams to put the dishes on each banquet table......
